i don't see how it's like NIL. i know they aren't getting paid. rich countries with big immigrant populations have been sending talent back to the parents homes long before this. jamaica's soccer team has an english influence. so many french born soccer players play for their parents countries.

I wasn’t being completely serious

I think it just boils down to the fact that Team USA is the hardest basketball team to make due to how deep the talent pool is and playing for another country is the best shot some guys have at playing in the Olympics

Jamaica not going to be as good as Canada and even they can't get their shyt together.

But I will say, Mike George has been threatening to take a bunch of kids getting dissed in the youth levels of the Canadian National program and sending them to Jamaica so shyt might get spooky in a few years.

THis is exactly what they need to do.

If Canada wants to act funny go have them rep Jamaica and build that program.
